B&E

I was rather lethargic throughout the day, and so after the first meeting with Ibu Elena (the curriculum director for Mentari) I was talking with Mike about going for a run or doing some other sort of exercise to get the blood flowing and whatnot. Mike lives in a very nice high-rise building that also has a mini gym in it, and so he suggested that we all come over around 7ish and work out at his place. Ab and I thought free was a major upgrade from paying for a day pass at the gym, so we all agreed to meet up at the lobby of his building around 7. Ab and I jogged over and wanted to be there a little early so that Mike wouldn't have to wait for us, but come 7:10 we were getting a little concerned. At 7:15 we decided Mike had either forgotten or a nap had overcome him, but since we had gone all the way to his building, wanted to see if we could go to the gym anyway. At this point we had been hanging around the front of the building for a solid half an hour or so and were definitely suspicious. However, we would not be deterred. Upon entering the building, Ab asked me how we were supposed to act like we knew where we were going when we really had no clue, but I assured him that walking briskly and with purpose had yet to cause me to be stopped by building supers yet (thanks to my experience at the Monterrey lol) So, the two of us walked on in which purpose, made the decision to head to the right and were not feeling confident of our prospects when we noticed there was an ID scanner next to the double doors that would let us into the elevator bank. However, after MacGyvering the situation, we realized the door not next to the ID scanner could simply be pushed in. Consequently, having a friend sleep through the group work-out, walking with purpose, and not being deterred by building "security" allowed Ab and me a great work-out in a swanky building :)

The only real interesting news from today is that we were told today that we'll be heading to Singapore on Friday to get our visas. Consequently, we'll actually be in the country legally and in a legit way soon, hooray! Weather permitting, tomorrow will include pics of the outside of Mentari and Wednesday is the first day with the rest of the staff!

Sampai besok! (Until tomorrow)
